Falconry Displays

Well Happy New Year! we are looking forward to the season ahead.

I was out with our dog a few days ago and I was thinking about last year and things in general regarding falconry displays. Of course the interest in falconry has never being higher which is reflected in the popularity of the ‘falconry experience’ as an activity at a range of establishments.

I cannot claim to have been at the start of providing events falconry displays as a business in itself – probably the late Chris Tuffrey has more of a claim for this position – but anyhow from the lat 1980’s it happened, developed and expanded to what it is today. Of course with the high level of falconry exposure one could argue that falconry has lost its special appeal.

I was thinking actually that this is not true – nothing can beat the thrill of hiring a falconry display for your own event. To have the display on your village field.

It is wonderful to see your local patch set up with a marquee – for the flower show or for live musc, space allocated for a myriad of  stands and of course the arena set up with rope and stakes maybe with chair suround creates the anticipation of the event to come.- I love bring a falconry display into this is environment where actually it is most appreciated – to have a falcon circling the entire show ground or the Eagle owl flying over people in the arena is just GREAT!

I live you with a picture of of  ‘Bo’ flying at Blenheim.
